The Planning Commission is starting review of the draft South Frederick Corridors Plan (SFCP) - a planning effort representing an important step toward realizing goals outlined in the Livable Frederick Master Plan (LFMP). The SFCP is a critical element of the County's strategy to preserve agricultural land and natural resources by creating attractive and comfortable places perfectly suited to serve needs of a variety of County residents and businesses.
